Homemade Whole Wheat Chocolate Wafers

These Chocolate wafers are great by themselves, or you can use them for other recipes that call for those "Nabisco" type chocolate wafers. You can also use them to make ice cream sandwiches or even oreo type cookies. They are quick and easy, and these are a wholesome version using whole wheat flour and sucanat for sugar.

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
3. Add the butter and mix until well blended.
4. Add milk and vanilla and mix until all clings together well.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a long and narrow log, about 1 1/2 inches diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to a week.
6. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Slice the dough logs into slices; about 1/8 inch thick.
8. Lay the slices on the baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
9. Bake for 12 -14 minutes. Test them to see when they are crisp enough. Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes then transfer them to the racks to cool completely – they will crisp up as they cool. These freeze well.

Makes about 6 dozen

Mix your ingredients, and roll into a log. Refrigerate for several hours, slice and bake.

You could also roll the dough out and cut them with a round cookie cutter and make them very nice and round like the store bought version; but those are more time consuming and I don't like taking all the time to do that.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes if you want them crispy.

They make wonderful cookie sandwiches or as is with a nice cup of coffee.

Oh YUM Mom!!!! I can't wait to try these out!!! I love how they look in that little wooden box too!! They are certainly going to make my cookie list this year! You got me when you said great with coffee!!

Miglena, if you are going to have them around more than a few days, I would put them in the freezer in an air tight freezer bag. Natural foods don't have the same shelf life as commercially made foods, because they lack the preservatives… but they will freeze well for a couple of months. Enjoy.
